The chief justice remarked that properties would be demolished if their owners failed to pay the regularisation fee.

He also observed that CDA allowed construction in Bani Gala’s Zones 3 and 4 without a master plan. Meanwhile, counsel for Survey General of Pakistan informed the bench that CDA was not paying Rs. 34 lac to the department against providing survey of Korang Nala.
The chief justice directed CDA to pay Rs 23 lac to the department.
